To each their own.  ;-)

The only time I EVER press caps-lock is by accident, and it's annoying.
And I didn't use caps-lock to type "I EVER" above.  In fact that key is
disabled on this computer, although I haven't gotten around to doing
that on my new laptop.

If I wanted to type "CONSTANTS", I'd type "constants", and then tell
my editor to convert to upper case.

I am a poor typist.  Probably close to 50% of my keystrokes are
"Backspace".  And too many are accidental caps-lock.  ;-)
